Diamond Green Diesel

Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) is a joint venture between Valero Energy Corporation (through a subsidiary) and Darling Ingredients Inc. DGD is the largest renewable producer in North America and the second-largest in the world. The fuel produced at our facility reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared with traditional diesel fuel. DGD currently produces 290 million gallons per year, with construction underway on an adjacent site that will expand production to 700 million gallons annually. This expansion is scheduled to be complete in 2021. Valero and Darling continue to pursue growth in the low-carbon renewable diesel business, and have approved a new 470 million gallons per year renewable diesel plant near Valero`s Port Arthur, Texas refinery. Operations are expected to begin in late 2022, increasing Diamond Green Diesel`s total production to approximately 1.2 billion gallons of renewable diesel.
